Will this help with my child's 1st grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug lessons follow the Idaho Content Standards, so the topics your child sees in class are the same ones covered here. They can review a concept the same night it comes up in homework.

How long are the video lessons for 1st grade science?

Most video lessons are short and focused, typically just a few minutes each, so young learners can watch one topic at a time without losing attention. Your child can pause and replay any lesson as many times as needed.

Is there an Idaho state test for 1st grade science?

Idaho administers the ISAT Science assessment, but it is not given in 1st grade. The science ISAT is generally taken in later elementary grades, so 1st graders are not in an assessed year for science.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can access lessons and practice at home, in the car, or anywhere with an internet connection.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?
